GCSE Results 2019

Yet again we are extremely proud of our students and the GCSE results they have achieved.

Headline results:

· 77% of students gained English GCSE

· 69% of students gained Maths GCSE

Subjects that did particularly well include: Physics GCSE (83%), Drama GCSE (77%), Design Technology GCSE (71%), PE GCSE (71%).

Alfie French with four grade 9s and three grade 8s said “I’m overjoyed with my results – I couldn’t have done it without all the support and encouragement from all the teachers at The Swanage School. I’ve really enjoyed my time here and will miss it.”

Headteacher, Tristram Hobson said “I am very proud of what our students – and their parents – have achieved and am delighted with this year’s GCSE results. We pride ourselves that not only do we ensure our most able students gain those grade 9s that they deserve but also that every student, whatever their ability, makes exceptional progress during their time with us.”
